@JayRicci7891 clarkson is a comedian.

@pitmie Ferraris are capable of winning drag races… its the matter of the driver driving it that makes the difference… and putting a Ferrari against tuned cars, it isnt surprising that Ferraris lose… because the opponents’ cars are well, tuned… think about it… am i right?

@pitmie where as for the matter of the customers’ cars not as fast as what Ferrari claim, again thats because of the driver behind the wheel.. maybe he just doesnt know how to drive…

come on… ur a fan of Ferrari and i am too… should u let the words of Chris Harris which i respect as well make u feel cheated? Ferrari isnt the only one who does it… other car manufacturers do as well… the reason they follow the test journalists around is because they want to get optimum performance out of the car… Mclaren do it… so why shouldnt Ferrari?

@pitmie Well… It took 11 months, But at last. someone has understood the point I made. I salute you sir. :-)

Well, to be fair, drag races aren’t everything…

…After reading his rant about Ferrari’s rules in testing their cars, I feel quite sick of Ferrari & somehow I started to hate Ferrari now. Like I said, I thought Ferraris are fast & should win drag races most of the times…but that’s not the case in many drag videos posted here in Youtube where Ferraris always play second fiddle to Porsche & usually on par with Lambo. Seeing Ferraris racing against tuned cars is even more painful to see…that sometimes I don’t even bother to watch them.

@apeltala I trust his every words he wrote about “how Ferrari spins”…which is pretty disgusting for me. It’s good to be honest even if it means that he’ll never be able to drive a Ferrari ever again. I believe I’ve been cheated by Ferrari after watching so many reviews & verdicts about their cars…which mostly impressed me a lot. I’m a fan of Ferrari since I was a kid, almost 30 years now & I adore most Ferraris. But watching so many vids in Youtube tells me things I don’t want to believe…

@JayRicci7891 People loves Clarkson for his comments & jokes, while people love C.Harris for his driving skills…JC really hates this 599 GTO while CH seems to enjoy driving it a lot….JC condemned this supercar coz he spun the car too many times while CH praised this car coz he really knows how to drive super-fast car like this…

So let’s take C.Harris’ truthful comment & review about this magnificent car instead of listening to JC’s whining & I truly believe this 599 GTO is awesome.

@JayRicci7891 only thing he ever said thats write is alfa’s are magical, cant fault him for that

Dammit, I can’t seem to post the link…just Google “How Ferrari Spins.”

@3108711289 read this…@3108711289

@apeltala why?

@JayRicci7891 fuck that show i always hatd those nerds they were so popmpous

By ToxicWareProductions on September 8th, 2011 at 5:49 am

” wo wo wo wo wow!” hahaha

I truly enjoy Harris’ reviews and this one is no exception. He actually gives meaningful insights, not just opinionated bluster :D I find it hard to believe this is the same guy who slagged Ferrari a couple of months ago with that “How Ferrari Spins” piece, but if it is him, it’s a real shame that this is probably the last Ferrari review we’ll ever see him do.

@JayRicci7891 last year 2010 november 15….yes…he is review this car….Top Gear also the same..:)

@SpeedyR8 hahahahaha crap i sound gay in my previous command LOL. Anyway, Ferrari 599 GTO is a great car

@MaloEdu your such a goof its unbelievable you looking to sleep with Clarkson or watch his reviews lol.

By MultiTopgearfan on September 8th, 2011 at 8:43 am

its official now… i love this more than the 458…

Clarkson is just a joker with a White Hair, Yellow Teeth and Ugly Teeth. I prefer Batman Joker over him, way way way way

By MyOpinionMatterss on September 8th, 2011 at 10:08 am

He should have his own TV show. I would soooo much rather watch his reviews than the baboons that are on the new American Top Gear show.

0 dislikes tell everything about chris harris !

@thelittleflowerpower Totally agreed and beyond MW is a motorguide more than a show, that´s why on top gear you lots of supercars and not too much cars that are for middle class…

By thelittleflowerpower on September 8th, 2011 at 11:27 am

@dy5000 Motorweek is about reviews and facts. Top Gear is a show and also for entertainment. Can’t compare oranges to apples.

By silverbullet1979 on September 8th, 2011 at 11:42 am

quite entertaining and superb shots…

for some reason i find it rather strange how motor week has test driver good enough to get a base 430 from 0-60 in 3.5 and through the 1/4mile in 11.7 and yet there drivers couldnt get th lambo gallardo to 60 in under 5 and couldnt even break 13sec through a 1/4mile.

The review is so interesting that i fell asleep… its like a script read out by a typical car salesman. I think Top Gear from UK had set a brand new benchmark in automotive reporting.
